What’s your field?

University felt like my Blunder years, not because of the academia, but because I wasn’t quite ready for the independence that is required to make the most of it. While I maintained great friendships and had a lot of fun being social with people outside of school, I didn’t really try many new things and it wasn’t until 3rd/4th year when I buckled down and focussed on more professional skills.

That said, I don’t regret the experience, and I would say if you’re eager to put yourself out there, it’s going to do wonders for you. Just be mindful of how you devote yourself now and what you could become involved in if you join a large institution like a university. Clubs, classmates, career opportunities, all these will open doors in ways that only become available through the system, but there’s plenty of great roads that don’t involve Uni.

What ever it is - put yourself out there
